You can lots of value out of it, play it in a Zoo deck and drop down 2 of them. Your opponent wants to AoE? Thanks for 2 4/4s. Or else, put an attack buff, run it into a minion, and get a 4/4 back, way too good.

Without some way to sacrifice it yes its a little over-hyped. Its gonna involve some setup because why would your opponent destroy it? You'd have to be willing to use a card effect on it yourself or have some good things on the board to make them do a clear to really use it.
